The barque Nightingale, Captain M'Phaidon, "which has been so long anxiously expected, arrived yesterday afternoon, and was towed in over the "bar by the Southland, which went out to meet her. In entering, she very nearly came to grief, having got a little too far to the southward, and consequently took the ground in a very awkward place, just inside the bar. By great exertions and admirable seamanship, she was however got off after a few minutes delay, and having cut the tow-rope, she sailed up to her anchorage, opposite the wharf, under her jib, topsails, and spanker. The Nightingale left Port Phillip heads on the 9th inst., with the wind at E.N.E. The same night it freshened into a gale, and there became almost a hurricane, with squalls of rain and sleet. In the course of the gale she lost ber fore-sail, fore top-sail, main top-mast, stay. sail, and sundry other gear aloft. Under the necessity of seeking shelter, she ran through between King's Island and Cape Qtway, which she succeeded in passing that night, but when well through, instead of the wind hauling in to the northward as was expected, it backed round to the southward, and the vessel was eleven days knocking about on the south of Tasmania. At last came a shift of wind, and she was able to run up to her •destination with light winds from the south and east. She made the land about a week since to the southward of Jackson's Bay, being somewhat out of her course, in consequence of not having had any observations for three days, and her compasses being out of •order. There was an addition to the number of the Nightingale's passengers, not included in her passenger-list on starting—Mrs Adamawn having given birth to a fine boy on the

24th. We are happy to notice that " mothej and child are doing well." The various vessels advertised for this port at Melbourne are loading, but their sailing-day had not been announced when the Nightingale left. The brigantine, Mary, had also been advertised for Westport, hut was not yet placed on the berth. The Nightingale brings fifteen passengers and a large assorted cargo.
